Cambridge United are reportedly close to securing a deal for St Neots trialist Jevani Brown.

The striker has played in four games on trial for the Us this summer and has always looked lively, so it would come as a surprise if no contract was in the offing.

Brown, who impressed against Norwich City, Ebbsfleet United, Tottenham U23s and again against Dartford at the weekend, had a trial with Championship side Birmingham City earlier this year.

The 23 year old started out with Peterborough United, and after dropping into non-league football featured for the likes of Barton Rovers, Arlesey Town, Wingate & Finchley and Kettering Town before joining St Neots.

At the time of his trial with Birmingham, St Neots boss Matt Clements said: “He’s got great feet but he’s also skilful and clever.

"I started to see him develop more when he was in training and I looked at giving the boy confidence and unleashing his creativity.

“On top of that he’s very hard working in training and for the team. All these components make him such a talent, albeit a very raw one, but he has so much potential.

“Whether it’s League Two, League One or the Championship depends on what clubs come in for him, but if this time next year Jevani is a pro footballer it wouldn’t surprise me the slightest and I couldn’t be happier for him.”
